history

Beginnings and history in the Middle Ages

The area around Wildeshausen is also known as the “square mile of prehistory”. The Kleinenkneter Steine , the Visbeker Bride , the Pestruper grave field and other grave complexes from the time before the birth of Christ in the Wildeshauser Geest indicate an early settlement of the region and have been stations on the road of megalithic culture since its inauguration in May 2009 .

Remembering the “ Translatio Sancti Alexandri ” by Waltbert in front of the Wildeshausen town hall

Around the year 800 there was a settlement in the area of ​​today's Wildeshausen, Wildeshausen is mentioned for the first time in the Translatio Sancti Alexandri . The place name Wildeshausen is presumably derived from a descendant of the Saxon Duke Widukind called "Wigald" (polished form of "Wigwald"). The place was therefore initially called Wigaldinghus . In the winter of 850/851 the bones of the martyr Alexander were transferred from Rome to Wildeshausen by Waltbert, also a descendant of Widukind. The Alexanderstift founded at this time was richly endowed with possessions in the following years, the place gained regional importance in the Middle Ages , reinforced by its location on the Hunte crossing of the Flemish Road from Lübeck via Hamburg and Bremen to Flanders and the Rheinschen Straße via Vechta and Osnabrück in the Rhineland .

Heinrich I is considered to be the founder of the Wildeshaus line of the Oldenburg Count House . While his younger brother Christian I resided in Oldenburg, Heinrich I set up his rulership center in Wildeshausen, which corresponded to a de facto division of rule and ownership. Heinrich's father Egilmar II had been Vogt of the Wildeshauser Alexanderstift. Presumably Heinrich I had already built a castle on the Wildeshauser Wittekindsberg. After his death in 1167, his son Heinrich II took over the county until 1198. His sons Heinrich III. and Burchard transferred the castle and bailiwick of Wildeshausen to the Archdiocese of Bremen to receive it back as a fief. This was preceded by a conflict with the Oldenburg line of the count house over various property rights. After the death of Burchard's son Heinrich IV. In 1270, Wildeshausen fell to the Archdiocese of Bremen as a settled fief. In 1270 the settlement was granted Bremen town charter , but had already been promoted to town by the provost and count in the 1230s, as seals and coins suggest. and is thus the oldest city in the Oldenburger Land . From 1282 at the latest, the city was surrounded by a city wall. In 1403 the rifle guild was founded, which is still one of the most important institutions in the city.

Wildeshausen belonged to Bremen at that time , but moved to Münster in the late Middle Ages . After a dispute with the Münster government during the Reformation , in which a pastor was killed by Wildeshaus residents, the castle and town were occupied by Münster troops in 1529. The mayor of Wildeshausen Lickenberg was executed, the city wall destroyed and Wildeshausen downgraded to a town . It was not until 1544 that a wall was built around the city and certain urban freedoms were achieved. However, Wildeshausen did not regain its old importance in the following centuries.

Wildeshausen in modern times

During the Thirty Years' War Wildeshausen was also affected: In 1623 the Holy Spirit Chapel in front of the city ​​was destroyed and the plague struck Wildeshausen. After changing affiliation to Sweden (1648–1679) and Münster (1689–1700), the town and office of Wildeshausen came to the Electorate of Hanover in 1700. For this purpose, the still existing office building was built at the Alexander Church and the market fountain in front of the town hall, which has also been preserved. The last remains of the castle, however, were torn down in 1789, the dilapidated Westertor in 1808.

In 1803 Oldenburg received Wildeshausen, which in the Middle Ages was already the seat of a branch of this house. After a short break in the years 1810 to 1813, when Wildeshausen was under French rule, the city remained part of the Grand Duchy or Free State of Oldenburg until the middle of the 20th century. During the French period , Catholics were given the right to freely practice their religion, a Catholic church was built, which had to be rebuilt as early as 1822/23 due to construction defects. In 1830 a Jewish community was also founded. Modern times also found their way into Wildeshausen: in 1838 the cemetery was moved from the Alexander Church to the gates of the old town, and villas were also built outside the city. The Johanneum Hospital was founded in 1873, in 1898 the town was connected to the railway , in 1899 to the power grid, and in 1895 the volunteer fire brigade was founded. During the First World War there was an airship port in Wildeshausen from 1916. The airship hangar was roughly on the site of today's Zeppelinstrasse. The hall was initially used by the army and later by the navy for their airships and demolished after the First World War.

With the Oldenburg territorial reform in 1933, the Wildeshausen office was dissolved and the Oldenburg district was founded, with its seat in Oldenburg. The National Socialists also took power here. The Wildeshaus synagogue , which had already been abandoned, was destroyed on the day after the " Reichspogromnacht " in 1938. During the Second World War , Wildeshausen was largely spared from destruction.

The city since 1945

  • 1946: Wildeshausen became part of Lower Saxony .
  • 1960: Wildeshausen became a garrison town of the Bundeswehr with the Wittekind barracks, in which the 313 grenadier battalion, later paratrooper battalion 272 and the armored artillery battalion 315 were stationed .
District building in Wildeshausen
  • 1972: On the morning of November 13th, Hurricane Quimburga hit the city and its surroundings with wind speeds of 200 km / h; there was high property damage to buildings and vehicles; Forest areas in the surrounding area were partially completely destroyed. The electricity and telephone network, which was still overland at the time, was destroyed, so that numerous households had to get by for days or weeks without electricity and telephone connections. The Bundeswehr and the technical relief organization were on duty to make the houses, which had been cut off from the outside world by fallen trees, accessible again. Several memorial stones in the vicinity of Wildeshausen still bear witness to the disaster.
  • 1977: Wildeshausen received the status of a state-recognized health resort .
  • 1988: The district administration of the district of Oldenburg moved from Oldenburg to Wildeshausen, which became the district town. A new building complex was built to accommodate the district administration.
  • 2007: The Bundeswehr left Wildeshausen, the Wittekind barracks site was given up.

Since then, the city has grown steadily through the continuous creation of building areas in the west of the city and the associated influx of new residents.

Culture and sights

The Remter: oldest building in Wildeshausen
Old Town Hall
Carillon on the town house

Tourism concentrates on the sights in the old town of Wildeshaus and on the sights in the vicinity of the city, which form the stations of the street of megalithic culture.

Sights in the city center

In the old town, surrounded by a wall ring, the historic town hall with a high-Gothic stepped gable from the 13th to 15th centuries is worth seeing, which was built as a symbol of the emerging city in a direct line of sight to the Alexander Church. The upper hall of the town hall now serves as an event room, including for council meetings - the town administration itself is now housed in the neighboring town hall, which has a carillon with scenes from Wildeshaus history.

One of the few half-timbered buildings in the old town is the hall house Sägekuhle 2 from 1775, which is currently being renovated. There are also beautiful ensembles of buildings around the Glory and Green Street.

Alexander Church

The Evangelical Lutheran Alexander Church is a late Romanesque basilica , which was completed as a collegiate church in the middle of the 13th century and serves as the city church after the abbey was dissolved . Originally the church had two towers, but they collapsed shortly after it was built. The interior was designed in the Art Nouveau style between 1907 and 1910 ; But there are also some items of equipment from the 800-year history of the church, such as a triumphal cross from the 14th century. Two arm reliquaries of St. Alexander from around 1220–1230 are now in the provost church of St. Georg in Vechta. Another remnant of the monastery is the Remter (chapter house) from the 10th century, which is the oldest building in Wildeshausen and one of the oldest secular buildings in northern Germany . A Bible garden was opened east of the Remter on October 8, 2011.

Burgberg and Kurpark

Of the former castle, built in the 13th century, only the castle hill remains, which today houses a memorial in memory of the victims of both world wars. The castle hill flows smoothly into the spa gardens, which are bordered by the Hunte in the east. The park offers visitors a concert shell and a Kneipp facility , i. H. a water treading pool and an arm pool. As the kick-off event of the Gildefest, the big tattoo and the huge fireworks of the Wildeshauser Gildefest take place in the spa park on Pentecost Sunday evening.

Immediately to the west of the castle hill is the Catholic St. Peter Church from the beginning of the 19th century.

Steam Grain Distillery Museum

Within the old town there is the steam grain distillery museum Wildeshausen. The original distillery was founded in 1850 by the Kolloge family of distillers. For decades, it produced around 200 different spirits for the surrounding region. The five-story building dates from 1895. A hurricane on November 13, 1972 supported large parts of the chimney of the distillery. Thereupon the last active distillery entrepreneur Ulrich Kolloge stopped the production. In a private initiative, the building has been restored since 1978 and leased to the specially founded museum association in 1982 for a symbolic price. The heart of the still is the functioning steam engine, which powered the entire steam engine park until 1972. The museum is still operated by the museum association and has around 2000 visitors annually. The museum has been a station on the Route of Industrial Culture in the north-west since 2010 .

Printing Museum

The museum at Bahnhofstrasse 13 is an originally furnished print shop that was founded in 1859. Until 1987 the "Wildeshauser Zeitung" (see Kreiszeitung # Kreiszeitung Verlagsgesellschaft ) was produced there.

Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Wildeshausen is a cultural monument . It is a well-preserved Jewish cemetery in the Oldenburg district. In the cemetery north of the Wildeshauser town center on the corner of “Delmenhorster Straße” and “Im Hagen” there are 86 tombstones for Jewish deceased from Wildeshausen and the surrounding area from the years 1787 to 1919.

Evidence of the megalithic culture

In the Wildeshauser Geest there are numerous barrows and megalithic tombs that are well worth seeing , which gave the city the reputation of a "square mile of prehistory". Of great importance here are the Pestrup burial grounds , which contain around 500 burial mounds from the period from 900 to 200 BC. And - nearby - the small kneading stones from the Neolithic funnel beaker culture (TBK) (3500–2800 BC); one of the Kleinenkneter megalithic tombs has been reconstructed so that an insight into the original appearance of the tombs can be gained.

Other exemplary prehistoric tombs in the Wildeshausen area are:
